That's what we're doing.  And, in doing so and in rating them, there are going to be sides taken and preferences established.  And parallels drawn to the source material.  Not once have I said "I would have."  I've been drawing comparisons between Burton's adaptation and Nolan's adaptation and how they relate to the source material.  For me, although neither is perfect, Nolan's is not only a better, more thorough adaptation, it's a better film overall.</blockquote>
